Little ********

Little Arctic tornadoes

Arctic "tornadoes" what are they? http://www.yr.no/nyheter/1.6368353 (only norwegian.. Sorry)
At 20:15 local time NRK1 today..

And just as a remark.. In Hånningsvåg (closest town to Nord Kap) a strom raged last night. 15 houses lost their roofs and 600sqm wall of a multipurpose hall flew in the sea.. Winds up 80knots (56 avarage)

 

bit drafty then? Best use bigger nails on yer roof!

 

Yep! I was a bit wary about my tent too thou it's quite well protected. We had here (200km southeast from Hånnningsvåg) some 25m/s.. no worries

Anyway watched the document about the arctic storms.. Intresting.. They seem to devolope quite suddenly without any alarming signs of them. They'll rage a couple of days before they dry out. Worst thing maybe that people (mostly fishermans at sea) hit by them never get any real weather warning.

 

Are they seasonal?

 

During winter months..

 

Little ********?, that sounds like me, but I do NOT like the cold so will never go there willingly....

 

Thought everything was frozen over up there in the winter months?

 

Hardly.. mild weather temps btw -20 to +7 this year. Not anything it used to be.. Some maggots have been spreading last few summers and eating up all the leaves in trees killing them standing. A proper winter freeze about -35 even few days would kill those even smaller ********..

 

Hi Teddy,

A barometer should be able to give warning ?

 

45 minutes from blue sky/ sun to a blazing storm....
A hyper sensitive barometer and a boat able to go in hyper speed?

Ok, seriously; I have never experienced these, but I have experienced fast weater changes in the winter time, is pretty difficult to prepare for...
